More Than 800 Voter Registration Cards Being Investigated
AKRON, Ohio -- The state of Ohio is stepping in to investigate possible voter fraud in Summit County. And the Lake County prosecutor is also looking into fraud there.
More than 800 voter registration cards in Summit County are under investigation, NewsChannel5 reported.
The Board of Elections said the voter registration cards in question are for addresses that don't exist, spelling mistakes or have similar handwriting.
Fifty of those questionable cards apparently came from the AFL-CIO central office in Cleveland, WEWS reported.
The AFL-CIO said it's registering thousands of union members this year, and had no knowledge of the faulty cards, which are filled out by volunteers.
AFL-CIO Executive Secretary John Ryan told NewsChannel5’s partner The Akron Beacon Journal that "it's not only a felony, but it's playing with democracy in a dangerous, horrible way."
Elections officials said the bogus cards were kicked out by the computer and forwarded to state investigators.
In the meantime in Lake County, elections officials said some voter advocacy groups are forging registration cards.
In one example, a man who's been dead for 20 years is apparently a new registered voter.
And in another case, it looks as if an entire neighborhood will be out of town on Election Day. Everyone there applied for absentee ballots.
This fraud comes on the heels of a report NewsChannel5 did just Wednesday on identity theft and voter registration. (Read Report)
Never give out your full social security number if asked. Elections officials only require the last four digits for verification.
80% of the American people do not think Iraq is "out of control" so why should anyone believe this poll on who would handle it better will be less biased.
Never like to hear about the loss of a patriot and Republican voter. thank You, and God Bless.
I believe of it is out of control because the democrats keep giving the enemy hope that kerry will eventually win and pull out, so they keep fighting. The left wing press is reporting the propaganda to make sure the enemy hears it.
When it comes to who'd do a better job, it would be Bush hands down.
They must live near Elmira/Horseheads...I remember that plant well! It was modern and up to date...not having been built and operating very long before it went belly up!

Gee.
Only 800 are fraudulent?
Why is it, when these stories are published, that the party affiliation of the registrant is never reported?
I would think it would be a very logical and important question to have answered. Those who investigated and reported the story must surely know.
Well seeing as how they didn't bother to mention the deceased's party affiliation, I think we all know what party they are registered under.
Do you suppose the Democrats have EVER won an election fair and square? Would they know how to do it?
Can we get the name of the "Voter Advocacy Groups" that are forging names. I'd like to see if we can establish DNC ties to these organizations.
I didn't notice the dead guy's party affiliation, but I can guess.
